I Sure Didn't See This Coming...

[Hooper]

Hell...you can get a Colt for $800.

I guess this gun was shown at SHOT earlier this year. Lots of YT stuff on it. First I've heard of it.

Keep in mind, 1911s have been made in Argentina for a LONG time. It could be a really nice gun. Not for me...but for someone.

I been wanting one of the Colt Custom Royal Blues 38 super, also a Colt Bright Stainless 38 super, an Anaconda 4.25 in. and a Python classic 2.5 in . I want those new in the box.
Then I need some minty S&W prelocks in the 629 and 29 family 3 in or less barrels. Blue and Stainless. Year don't matter as much as just need to be minty, some holster wear is acceptable.
Just waiting on my Ship to get here, and I'm getting them.

When my ship gets here, I will send ole Molly some new ducks to play with.

That's full retail. Only people that pay that used to shop at Gun World

I can see it now, a dust covered Bersa 1911 with a $1,350 ticket on it, crossed out to $1,050 at Gun World, the small Gun Museum in OKC. I have a friend who has a Bersa .380 and my Uncle has one. Never has given them a problem, but again they never shoot it that often...

I have a bersa 380, it’s super accurate and reliable. Honestly, this 1911 will probably be great

It may be, but you can buy really good imported 1911s for a lot less money.

You can buy really good American-made 1911s for less money. Or lots more. I'm guessing street price will be sub $1k. And the Bersa is made in the USA.

I did not know that Bersa had a factory in the US.

I agree. I have the .22 and a .380 Bersa also. Fun to shoot but I wish the damned safety was not opposite my EDC Colts or I would consider it as an equal in quality. I have found mine to be very reliable and accurate.

Yep, lots of 1911s on the market. A few with specific differences but most all can do the function intended. Take even a new colt or any other brand and put a little fine "Auto Valve grinding compound" in a few specific rubbing places to smooth (polish) them out for the first couple hundred rounds before cleaning and you can enjoy smooth shooting it forever if the rest functions do as they should.

Blue is my favorite color, but naw, I think not for grips for today. I have never been a fluorescent orange hair flashy person with blinking lights, think I will stick with rubber black or wood grain,

Thanks for posting

They should have made the best 1911a1 they can with just better sights. Blued. No markings. These people need to hire me.

Honestly, I didn't either. But the announcement of the new 1911 I posted says it's, "Manufactured with meticulous detail right here in the United States."
